Chiantipy

Calculations of the free-bound/radiative recombination continuum and radiation losses depend on a file that provides and LS description of the bound and singly excited energy levels. This file is called c_5.fblvl in the case of C V. Not all ions have an associated .fblvl files and is was necessary to revise ChiantiPy to ignore the free-bound calculation for these ions.

In addition, it was found that under extreme conditions, such as very low temperatures for highly ionized species, that bad values would arise (Nans and infinities). These are now detected and removed.

The Karzas and Latter (1965) bound-free gaunt factors in the CHIANTI database have been corrected as of CHIANTI version 10. This effects the calculation of the free-bound continuum. The continuum.freeBound method has been updated to uses these new data.

The freeBound and the freeFree methods now have 2 new keyword variables: **includeAbund** and **includeIoneq**. Their initial values are True so that elemental abundance and the ionization equilibrium appropriate to the ion is included the the output spectrum.

The freeBoundEmiss is removed as it has become redundant

A new continuum method, freeBoundLossMao includes the radiative-recombination (free-bound) loss rate as calculatd by Mao et al. (2017)

a bug in the inherited method base._IntensityRatio() was corrected.

This is a bug-fix release. The inherited method base._IntensityRatio failed when trying to take the intensity ratio of lines from different ions
